Distance from wall for KEF Reference 1s


The front of my Reference 1s are 40" from the wall behind them with long tubes.  Wondering what others use or recommend for these speakers.

In my original post I should have mentioned that I've used the Reference 1s for over 5 years.  An interview with Jack Oclee-Brown I saw on YouTube lead me to reduce the separation of the speakers to create an equilateral triangle and to remove toe-in.  The sound improved considerably.  The room is 14' X19' X 8' with books and posters.

In the living room I had LS50 W2s against the wall rationalizing that the pair of KC62 subs handled LF.  But when I pulled them away from the wall the sound improved dramatically, with a nice sense of soundstage depth without compression.
